FLYING PIG PUB & KITCHEN

Crackling pork belly, tender and caramelized from a brief char on the grill, arrives at the table first. A delicate slice of smoked cheddar cheese begins to melt, sliding down the pork, topped precariously with julienned Granny Smith apples and sage. It is a single bite, presented on a porcelain spoon, a veritable explosion of flavor... This is not something you can order at Flying Pig Pub and Kitchen, Oceanside California's favorite gastropub. This is the gift we give you for walking through the door... Owners Roddy and Aaron Browning are veterans of the restaurant industry. Having worked in fine dining since their teens, they understand the nuances of attentive, anticipatory service and the techniques of traditional French cooking. But they also appreciate that sometimes, at the end of the day, all you need is a pint of beer and something simple, homemade, and wholesome… without all the fanfare.
